"Cas were at almost full strength apart from Jake Webster"
"12-3 penalty count has to be a factor."'"
I didn't write or read those and I can't be d to go into them.

A Rovers fan asked the question about Mickey Paea going on report so I courteously gave him the detailed answer;
"Right in front of me as was all the play near that quarter of the pitch.
Mickey tackles Hauraki over the top of his shoulder
Hauraki stays down.
The Cas fans shout for Mickey to get penalised for a swinging arm / head high shot.
Roby and the lines man conspire to give Cas the penalty for a swinging arm / high shot.
Hauraki walks off holding his arm which indicated his injury had nothing to do with Mickey's tackle.
Weak decision from weak officials under a weak system".
Quote: Mrs Barista ""A couple of the penalties simply were not but the officials buckled in the face of home fans pressure."'"
Again, the full context of the comment;
"To say it was another gutless performance is total and utter bollox - the players gave their all.
The lack of possession in the second half was the most heavy against I've ever seen in watching Rovers for 20 years.
We got in their 20 four times and scored 3 times and I'd bet our tackle success percentage wasn't that bad. It was the lack of possession killed us.
Some of the high tackles were justified penalties but the one in the second half when the Cas player was tackled across the torso, Roby let it go, then as we're about to play the ball, the lines man gave in to the home crowd and ordered a penalty was the crack that bust the damn.
We need 2 refs in the game ASAP IMO".
Quote: Mrs Barista "It's like typing "excuses culture - comprehensive example " into a search engine and finding the very definition.'"
No it's not.
When all's said and done, I am a Rovers supporter, posting about Rovers topics on Rovers boards.
Where as you are continually unable to escape the parasitical tendencies which control you.
